PICKLEBALL PADDLE

The pickleball racket was born in the summer of 1965 thanks to Bill Bell and Joel Pritchard. To start, a makeshift ping pong paddle was used to hit a whiffle ball over a bandminton net at 60". As time progressed the net was lowered to 36" which allowed for the ball to bounce better and players could play the sport we all love today.

Pickleball rackets are larger than a ping pong paddle, but smaller than a tennis racket. Many of them range in size, thickness, shape, materials, and colors. Commonly constructed of wood, composite materials, graphite, or aluminum, pickleball paddles come in a variety of materials.

Wooden paddles are common among beginners since they have little to no power and control. Composite and graphite paddles are the most common among beginers through pros since they allow the most versatility and can match virtually any playing style.

The first step to choose a good racket is to ensure it is USA Pickleball Approved. This will ensure you are using a regulation size, material, and core to follow the rules of the game. To ensure your paddle is on the approved USA Pickleball list, click here.
